How to Make Pita Bread

[@bobcarn]

I made this today! My nephew drove up to spend time with us, and we decided to make pita breads. This is the recipe upon which I decided. It was great fun watching them blow up like balloons so quickly. I've made pitas before, but the trick to use a preheated griddle/pan/etc. in the oven did the trick! I have 8 pitas now waiting to be eaten.

[@TheFlyingGerbil]

Pita is the biggest difference from shop-bought of any bread I’ve made and I’m certainly no expert. It’s like magic when the little pockets form,no worrying about poking you knife through the side trying pry it apart. So worth it to try if you haven’t before

[@adelinaprentice4703]

I say the same about flour tortillas 😄 I have to try these now!

[@Henry5558]

Lebanese call it Arabic bread.

[@VeretenoVids]

I happen to be lucky enough to live within walking distance of a Lebanese grocery store where they make pita 5 days a week. You can smell it a good block away. So, while I do know how to make pita and have made good pita, I'm happy to support a neighborhood business for pita. 🙂

[@varunbhardwaj9397]

Oh absolutely ..

[@sevdalinabarbova8238]

In Bulgaria we spread some butter with garlic in it on the hot pita bread and we eat it with the main course. Some people also like sprinkling some cheese on top of the pita bread while is is still hot so that it melts. So delicious 😀

[@2pi-is-tau]

Sounds good!

[@Una...]

I'll be making these to go with a plate I call 'Breakfast of the Gods', which is hummus, olive oil, red onion, avocado, feta, tomatoes, and olives. Can't wait!

[@misshummingbird2238]

Sounds nice😊

[@johanna5688]

I'd skiptheavocado.

[@psychokidproductions6433]

I screenshot your comment to try later. I love hummus

[@akhoneybee907]

My favorite thing to make but now it has a name 😂😂

Best part of the video: gratitude for the mixer ❤ I thank mine every time I use it 😍 bless you John

[@ritawilbur7343]

One thing I'm confused by: your question about "what you use pita for." It immediately goes into the tummy. You can't use it for anything after that. You might also want to let people know that once baked, the pita will last about 15-30 minutes. Or less, depending on how many people are in your house. After that it will be gone.

[@christinecorcoran4297]

Love watching John bake and cook! Educational, soothing, and entertaining! More please 😀

[@necrosiskoc9617]

I made these today to go with some hummus that I made yesterday and it's fantastic. I have to say, you're my go to channel for baking now, as I've made 3 of your recipes and they've all come out really well. I love the way you explain things in a way that even a baking idiot like me can get great results.

[@chrisblanc663]

Haha! I’m in exactly the same position. Made hummus yesterday, and now made pita’s and falafel to go with the hummus!

[@DiaDia18]

Dreamy recipie John! I am from Cyprus and we have "pitas" and we make "souvlakia" with the Cypriot "sieftalies"! We eat them with "tzatziki"! Is very nice to know how we can make "pitas" at home! Thanks John for these recipie! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week and good month! 👍👏🍴

[@laurastevens9800]

I made these today, so good with the chicken shawarma and yogurt sauce. It was a hit with the kids!

[@ishaanvidyarthi8286]

U hit ur kids with the pita. Maybe I should try that

[@tishw4576]

I live in Cyprus. Of course I can buy pita everywhere, but I love making my own bread. It makes the house smell amazing. Can't wait to try this recipe.

[@SiloCode]

I asked my husband to buy some pita bread at the store and he forgot! Then I see you making those pita breads that look so delicious I can't wait to try making them tomorrow. You must be reading my mind!

[@HawkoftheWoods]

I just finished making these and they are hot out of the oven. I will be eating these tonight with homemade Hummus. I have been baking bread for 30 years and have made many pita recipes, but these, by far, turned out the best of any pita I have made. Thanks for the recipe, John. Btw, I followed the recipe as written using a baking stone.

[@michelebeardslee4259]

Just made these for the first time today and because of your wonderful step by step instructions they came out perfect. Thank you

[@delciajayneciego4828]

Perfect recipe for Pita bread.

[@mayhembeading3737]

Hi John, thank you for the recipes and the videos. My family loves when I use your recipes, you're the "go-to" and your recipes are nearly foolproof.

[@Waffl3B1T]

All the bread! I love pitas. This is gonna be fun

[@jonathanflores5840]

403 am March 3, 2023. thanks John for the best and so yummy recipe. i love pita biscuit, so yummy an looks so great i love it

[@yaffaa813]

Omg yum! The best with falafel balls or shawarma topped with fresh salad and some tehina. My kids love it with Nutella smeared on the inside

[@ritawilbur7343]

I love making pita. It's a fool-proof bread. I cook it on a hot skillet on the stove top, I'll have to give the oven a try. The homemade pita is so good, most of it gets eaten before I've finished cooking all of it!

[@TheIntJuggler]

That’s good. I’m a fool.

[@oliveproject10]

When you cook it on stove top, do you use oil or butter?

[@kriskeuler4455]

Love watching you bake❤️always learn so much 🥰great recipes great tutorials, awesome instructor 😍

[@darlafischer9869]

I love watching your videos. Not only do I learn something, you also make me chuckle! So thank you!

[@APreciousRuby]

I got super excited when I saw this recipe come out. I started making them this morning, and as I am writing this comment I am taking out my second batch. Thank you immensely for this recipe :D My dad is happy. (He's a serial pita lover) P.S. It's delicious.

[@kathymyers-host6187]

I'm definitely going to try this recipe ❤

[@christinelewis1825]

I love pitas but agree with you John, the ones from the store are usually stale tasting. Look forward to making your recipe. You always make your recipes look so easy and you give great instructions!

[@DebbieHazelton]

I will make this for sure. I especially love pita bread that I can open and fill and some of what I find will not slit open without breaking. I will add onion powder and as I fill these I often will use homemade hummus, I cook my own dried beans, and or I might make a breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon or fill with tuna salad. Thank you so much. I love your channel. :-)

[@tomdececco2806]

All kinds of lessons today - great job as usual - thanks

[@jonimaricruz1692]

Thank you for the recipe, John. But I have to say, watching your videos gives me such a case of kitchen envy. So much counter space! Of marble, yet. And a warming oven! A warming oven for crying out loud! 🤣🤣🤣 I love your channel, keep ‘em coming. 🫶

[@WhippedFood]

Love to make homemade versions of different types of bread! The last recipe I tried was flatbread. Next on my list is definitely this pita recipe!

[@BrianFedirko]

While Pita is a very old bread, the oldest known bread is actually a flatbread found in the Syrian Desert that dates back 14,000 years: Pita is around 4000 years old, it means "flat bread" which the ancient Greeks were the first people to use that term. other: bread from Çatalhöyük, discovered in a Neolithic settlement in central Anatolia, Turkey and dates back to 6600 BCE. Bread from Shubayqa 1, Bread crumbs found in sediment samples at this site in Jordan are about 14,400 years old. Gr8! Peace ☮💜Love

[@stampscapes]

Awesome. I followed the instructions/recipe here but the only thing I did differently was that I just used my bread maker for the dough. Came out great. Thanks!

Can’t wait to try this out! What do you use if you don’t have a professional mixer or griddle or pizza stone? Thank you! Pita pocket bread is so hard to find in my city? All they sell is Greek style pita bread. (That’s good too but you can’t stuff it like pita pockets?? ) just my opinion- 🥰👵🏼

I always knead my pita dough by hand, and I cook it in a hot skillet on the stove top. Otherwise my recipe is pretty much the same as his.

The Pitas look fantastic! Please let us know about the griddle used!! thanks

[@brigittekomara9036]

I made these today but mine didn’t puff up very much at all. They just kind of “bubbled” and I’m wondering what I might have done wrong. I used about 100g of whole wheat flour and 200g regular flour but I noticed several other recipes also used some wheat flour so I don’t think that was the problem. Would appreciate any answers or comments. Thank you!

[@DeForestRanger]

Oh, John...you're so silly! You should know that kneading dough by hand is therapeutic to the soul! Your pita recipe is slightly different than mine (mine fails occasionally, and I haven't been able to determine why), so I'm looking forward to making your version. How do I use pita? For lots of sandwiches, but my favourite is thinly sliced turkey, alfalfa sprouts, mayonnaise and cranberry sauce perked up with a little horseradish.
